Apple iPhone 8 Plus Review

So who should be buying an iPhone Plus this year? Well, let's take a look at what you can expect from the phone's hardware, and Apple's latest software, as we start breaking things down and answering that question.

This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

I don't think it to much to ask for fairness in reviews. As a person, you can be for or against whatever product you want too. But when you review, a article should be unbiased and without personal opinions. Everything is suppose to reflect the good and bad about a device based on its own merit, not personal taste or opinions.

Example, many have said Apple not offering expandable storage with iOS, is a con vs other OEM's. I disagree on one level. Since Apple has never offered such, it is a con on personal preference, but because they never offered it and you can expect this never to change, its not a con and thus if you need it, then you don't buy an Apple device.

But things that are cons are considering the price, comparing to other OEM's. How is 720p a flagship? Or 1080p? Faster charging with no supporting adapter in the box? They own a brand that makes arguably better headphones vs the inbox ones, but have yet to include? Price keeps going up, but they take away usable things like headphone jacks and finger print sensors? Claim seamless integration, yet the latest iPhone cant even plug directly to the Mac without a $30 adapter?

Things other OEM's are ripped for, are praise when Apple does the exact same?
Samsung phones with dual glass designs are fingerprint magnets. Apple iPhone has same design, such isn't mentioned?

PA claims other online tests are a joke because variables are charged? Yet they do the exact same and say their methods are better?

The S8 as an example is better for lost or reasons, higher IP rating, more storage, faster charging with included charger, still has a headphone jack, records in stereo sound, larger higher resolution, yet a smaller phone and offers the latest in test industry standards like gigabit modems and BT5.

Just be fair, and you will be praised for good reads. After all, I can say ever writer here has posts one good article with zero bias and far assertions and they were praised for it. We are asking for more of that.

Why not give your readers quality over quantity. If you don't like writing, then get a real job and hire someone who loves this stuff for real and not just claims they do.

Because the only writer here who seems to actually love tech is the filipino and lately his articles have been terrible.

Too many butthutt poor idiot android users keep coming on every apple article just to troll and cry. No wonder phonearena keep on making apple stories for butthurt clickbait. I am an iphone user and i dont care what butthurt android where talking here as i am comparing the new iphone always better than their previous. Never will ever use an android phone. I dont need multi tasking coz i have ipad and laptap to do it for me.

This phone should've been no higher than 8.5. CPU is about the only thing it has going for it. Samsung and LG destroy this phone (or even the future iphone X with its ugly notch at the top). Iphonearena sucks as usual....

i fall from my chair laughing at the score
oh my f**king god this just hilarious
the iPhone is considered the most boring device ever released by apple and even isheeps are not buying it but here it is iphonearena going at it again
note 8 f**k the 8 plus in every possible way and it is even faster than the icrap
im out of this site for good you apple dick suckers is**t arena
f**k you

'Heavier and ever so slightly larger than last year, the real big deal is the new glass back' lol. that sets the tone. bigger,heavier,pricier, small screen compared to size, almost no extra functionality to justify the price difference from last years phones and this years i phone 8.

Iam android user my first concern About the phone is battery life so i tried far 6S+ with ios 10.3.3 iam getting 6.5-7Hours SOT in my usage, I really feel iphone 8+ could have come with 3000mah battery , here phonearena showing 10hours of SOT u wont get this in real life if ur heavy user so apple should add extra 300-400mah more decrease weight off the phone should not be more than 170grams, look far example moto Z2 play has same dimensions as iphone 8+ but its thinner at 6MM and packs of 3000mah battery with145grams
I need this battery life in iphone
-wifi upto 20Hours
-LTE upto 18Hours
-videoplay back 18Hours
This will all happens if iphone give us 3000mah battery with A11 bionic chip

It is a dated design compared to what Samsung is doing today -even a year ago! Shame on Phone Arena. They are hyping it instead of telling us exactly what it is: a phone that is two generations behind Samsung. Their review stinks.
